Wendy Williams’s Son Says He Fears For Her Life

by

Wendy Williams’s son Kevin Hunter Jr says that her mental and physical health is declining while she’s under guardianship. In an interview with The Sun, Hunter told his side of the story and shed some light on the events of recent months. He accuses various members of her inner circle of taking advantage of her wealth while she battles addiction. Since Williams was put under guardianship last year numerous reports have come out about her declining health.

Among his complaints is a major lack of communication with what’s going on in Wendy Williams’ life. The last time Hunter heard from his mother’s manager was when she was hospitalized last month. Since then, he says he hasn’t been updated on news of her mother’s release at all. He also wasn’t updated when Williams’ was reportedly moved out of New York. Later on in the interview Hunter even goes as far as to say that he fears for her life.

When the subject of his mother’s alcoholism came up, Hunter expressed further concerns. “I know the rate that she uses alcohol isn’t like a normal person- and we’ve spoken about it — and it’s gotten to a point where yes, it could have that effect that it might be fatal because it affects her way worse than a normal person since it stays in her system,” he says. He goes on to clarify that “it could have that effect that it might be fatal.”

Wendy Williams has reportedly been trying to progress her career in recent months. Back in April, she was seen filming at her childhood home for a forthcoming reality show. Just a few weeks ago it came to light that Williams tried to join the cast of The Real Housewives Of New York. Kevin says that his mother should “take a break from trying to progress her career and just be proud of what she’s accomplished.” The situation has already drawn comparisons to the conservatorship of Britney Spears that inspired the #FreeBritney movement. Let us know what you think about Wendy Williams’s situation in the comment section below.

by

Floyd Mayweather is easily one of the richest athletes to ever do it. Overall, boxing is an extremely lucrative business. Some of these fights can bring in tens of millions of dollars for the fighters. Although Mayweather is largely retired from prizefighting, he still has a number of revenue streams. He is extremely wealthy, and he can afford all of the amazing things that life has to offer. Whether that be cars, homes, or art pieces, Mayweather really has it all. Furthermore, he doesn’t mind flaunting it on social media.

Mayweather has always been keen to show his fans the kinds of things he can afford. Although some don’t appreciate being flexed on like this, others see it as motivation.

Rick Ross & Killer Mike Get Some Laughs On “Dave”

by

Dave Burd, a.k.a. Lil Dicky, crafted one of the most successful hip-hop-adjacent shows of the moment with his series “Dave.” Now on tour with rapper GaTa, the show’s latest episode involves some hilarious cameos from Rick Ross and Killer Mike that have people quite impressed with their comedy skills. Moreover, the plot revolves around Dave and GaTa trying to get Rozay’s stolen chair back and handle potential Twitter beef with one half of Run The Jewels. Not only that, but Usher and Lil Gotit also make comical appearances throughout the episode. All in all, fans seem to agree that the comedic timing and chemistry in this episode was more than entertaining.

Of course, someone of Rick Ross’ charisma and personality makes for a glove-like fit on a show like “Dave.” One of his more recent and strange antics involved his buffalo that escaped from his ranch in Fayetteville, Georgia. While many expressed concern and even criticism, the Miami rapper dispelled all that with a series of funny, thankful, and reassuring clips. When you live that large, you’ve got to learn to not take yourself as seriously, and it’s clear that he has a lot of fun with it.

“Dave” Includes Hilarious Cameos In Atlanta Episode

Furthermore, Killer Mike is one of the faces of Atlanta, whether in music or larger society and politics. As such, it’s only fitting that a figure of his caliber appears in an episode centered around the city. What’s more is that Mike will make a return to music quite soon, although it was nice to see him expand his resumé on “Dave.” Fans are particularly excited because he teased features from Dave Chappelle, Lil Wayne, and the one and only André 3000.

Despite his incredible TV success, Dave (or Lil Dicky, in this case) said that he wants to return to the mic soon. He elaborated that he feels misrepresented by his earlier work, with leaned towards comedy with less warm reception than his television outing. Regardless, considering his career trajectory and growth, it should make for quite the interesting return. For the latest news on Killer Mike, Rick Ross, and Dave (or Lil Dicky), stick around on HNHH. Also, check out some reactions to Rozay and Mike on “Dave” down below.

50 Cent Deletes Instagram Post About Exposing TV Industry

by

It’s always annoying when someone deletes a post that could be big news, but this time around, it’s a little bit fishy considering the content. On Sunday (March 26), 50 Cent reportedly posted on Instagram that he could expose the truth about the TV industry if given the chance. However, he apparently deleted the post since then, as the original HipHopDX report on it no longer features the Instagram revelation. “This lady from Fox 5 News called asking if i would speak to her about my experience in television production,” he allegedly captioned his post with a picture of FOX 5 correspondent and veteran journalist Lisa Evers. “I said like real behind the scenes, [eyes emoji] if she does this the Tv is going to go black [television emoji].” As a titan in that industry currently, such claims are quite hold quite the power.

Moreover, the G-Unit mogul recently celebrated his incredibly expansive network in the entertainment industry with another post, and this one’s still uploaded to his page. “I just realized there is not 1 african american person with green light Power in all of television,” he remarked. “WTF , I gotta turn it up now !” In said post, he showed just how many production companies and organizations he’s worked with so far, and hilariously X’d out Starz.

50 Cent Might Expose TV Industry

However, the “In Da Club” rapper also caught flack for insinuating he doesn’t know who Evers is. Still, that might be that he just miswrote, given their history together. “Whaaaat ???!!!” she reportedly commented under 50’s post. “This lady [crying laughing emojis] is @lisaevers #fox5ny – same one who did your very first TV interview in 2003 ‘Get Rich or Die Tryin’ – same one who did a bunch of other interviews throughout your incredible career …. why you acting brand new? Lol Would love to tell this chapter of your story… meet me on Baisley Blvd South Jamaica …let’s talk.”

“MEMO TO: @50cent FROM: “this lady” Lol,” she wrote on Instagram, captioning a picture of the two of them, presumably after their conversation twenty years ago. “2003 – after your first TV interview for #fox5ny news about your debut album. You trusted a new TV reporter named Lisa Evers with your incredible story over national entertainment shows. Now trust me again to tell the story of how you became a media mogul & mega-successful entrepreneur. The streets need this inspiration now. Let’s work!” Furthermore, it seems like after 50’s deleted post and his incredible career, the two would have a lot to go over. Still, maybe that results in some industry secrets coming to light, or maybe that’s too conspiratorial to entertain. Regardless, come back to HNHH for the latest on this story and more on 50 Cent.

The impressive ratings made it the most viewed show of the ceremony’s evening across television networks. 12.4 million is also the largest audience for the Grammy awards since 2020.

Online and on social media, the broadcast hit 66 billion potential impressions. Thus, it is “the #1 social entertainment event of 2023,” according to CBS. By Monday morning, the world had consumed 53 million video clips of Grammy awards ceremony content across CBS and Paramount’s social media platforms. The CBS broadcast took place at Los Angeles’ Crypto.com Arena and streamed on Paramount Plus. The live-streaming ratings were also up 33% from last year.

Trevor Noah hosted the Grammy awards ceremony for the third year in a row. The star-studded performance list included Quavo, Lizzo, Harry Styles, Sam Smith and Kim Petras, Bad Bunny, and more. Beyoncé made history as the most grammy-awarded artist in the history of the program. Lizzo also made history as the first black woman to win Record of the Year since Whitney Houston in 1994. Kim Petras made history as well, becoming the first openly transgender woman to win the Best Pop Duo/Group Performance Award for “Unholy” with Sam Smith. Additionally, Styles took home the Grammy for Album of the Year for “Harry’s House.” The Recording Academy also gathered artists to celebrate 50 years of hip-hop.

In comparison to other award shows of the year, the 2023 Golden Globes had 1.1 rating with 6.3 million viewers. NBC broadcasted the show and streamed it on Peacock. However, these ratings show a 26% and 9% drop, respectively, from last year’s Golden Globes in 2022. On social media, Golden Globes content ranked in almost 11 million digital page and video views across E! News and NBC, according to NBC. The difference in ratings between the Golden Globes and the Grammys was drastic.
